<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mark737, post: 3689344, member: 14894&quot;]Auctions seem intimidating but can be one of the best ways to get good deals on furniture, especially antiques.&nbsp; You do have to factor in the buyer&#039;s premium, a fee you pay the auction house on top of the bid price.&nbsp; It&#039;s 23% at this particular auction, which is typical.&nbsp; And then there are shipping costs.&nbsp; I have used UShip in the past and like their model.&nbsp; You essentially describe the item and put in a request for bids and then multiple small shippers give you bids.&nbsp; To ship something like a sideboard from GA to PA , I&#039;d estimate around $500.&nbsp; So, obviously it&#039;s best to focus on auctions within driving distance of your home.&nbsp; Being in PA, you have a lot of options.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
